I am constantly astonished by the crap that falls out of my 15yo's mouth. He grew up in FL with his Liberal mother; I just got full custody of him last year. I'm starting the slow process of injecting reason, logic, and traditional values into his mind, but it is a hard row to hoe.

He commented to me a few days ago that the MPAA assigns more restrictive ratings to movies with homosexual kisses vs. heterosexual kisses and he thought that was wrong of them. I told him I agree with that philosophy because perhaps some parents haven't yet had the conversation with their 12yo about abnormal relationships and don't want them exposed to it without context. He wanted to argue with me that homosexual relationships are not "abnormal." I then asked him to tell me what is the one, single requirement for any species to survive beyond one generation. If humans have been around for some 150,000 years, which type of relationship is "normal?" He didn't have an answer, so the argument stopped there, but it was obvious he didn't want to accept my premise.

I don't give a damn what people do in the privacy of their own home if it doesn't affect me. Honestly, there are too many people on this planet anyway, and we could probably just consider homos a form of population control. But I'm getting a little sick of popular culture force feeding my kid idiotic philosophy that boils down to "intolerance is intolerable."

I have nieces in their 20s who think the same way. It's not just your kid. Good luck on the de-programming.
